Unreal

And half their yards were on the final drive of the game against back up back ups

Never thought I’d see us dominate an offense worse than we did Florida but today was actually more impressive

The refs even tried to help them out a lot and they had to fight tooth and nail for a yard or two

Incredible especially this day and age of football

Don’t think they even ran a play in UM territory until that last drive with the reserves in.

Excited to see the numbers when I do the stat roll thread Monday. I’m guessing we’re in the top 5 now in yards per play allowed and scoring defense. Or at least real close.

They can 50 plays for 143 yards. Just a merciless **** kicking by our kids on defense. Jesus.

And that offense is wayyy better than Florida’s.

Their last 2 games, against teams that were ranked this morning (Pitt and GT), they had a combined 1028 yards of offense.

Yup exactly. That was the most dominant defensive performance I can remember

And without Scott I didn’t think we’d lose or anything but thought there would be more mistakes

The defense has been almost as good as the offense was last year. I know we joke about being cursed but what the **** did we do to deserve having last year's offense with no defense and then this year's defense with a below average offense.

Just superior athletes everywhere

Our DL is monsterous. Besides the obvious of Bain and Mesidor, Scott has turned a corner and is disrupting everything.

Scroggins when he was in there was pushing their OL back lol. So much fun to watch

Mesidor wasn't as big a prospect before . I couldn't believe Mel Kiper had Mesidor #2 behind Bain

And it needs to be said that the secondary played out of their minds today which I was so excited to see. This was against a very explosive offense not the glorified HS team we played last week. It seems as if the secondary is really beginning to gel. This is without OJ and Keonte to boot which makes it even more impressive. Give those 2 another week to heal before Pitt. All season I've been waiting patiently for this secondary to have everything click for them and it appears as though that is exactly what has happened. Xavier Lucas had the best game of his UM career and Jakobe Thomas was lights out. Bryce Fitzgerald continues to get more comfortable and Ethan O’Connor also played great.

I can't leave out the LB unit because they were very impressive in terms of the discipline they played with in the passing game and their run fits were phenomenal all game long. Wes, Chase, Mo and Popo were nails today.

What can be said about this Defensive Line? Yes Bain and Mesidor were their usual selves but that doesn't come close to telling the story. David Blay was out today. That's one of our top DTs against an offense as explosive as NC State and we didn't miss a beat. I'm sure Hollywood Smothers the ACC's leading rusher thought that he could rack up some yardage right up the middle of our defense. He thought wrong as Ahmad Moten, Justin Scott, Armando Blount and Donta Simpson combined with the rest of the defense to hold Smothers to -2 yards rushing on 7 carries while holding the Wolfpack to 23 total yards rushing. Meanwhile on the edges, it was great to see Marquis Lightfoot and Herbert Scroggins playing great football as I am very bullish on both of their long term potential. Just a fantastic game for this defense who undoubtedly heard all the talk about how explosive the Wolfpack's offense has been all season and what they did to Georgia Tech. Not one single upside down U today. Not one! It sucked to lose the shutout as I wanted it so bad for those kids. They played their hearts out and man what it ever great to see! I can't hit post reply without giving a huge shout out to our DC Corey Hetherman. Another poster just mentioned that Hetherman may be our best DC since Sonny Lubbick which is high praise indeed! I can't answer that quite yet but I will say that Corey Hetherman has been Mario Cristobal's best coordinator hire of his Miami tenure. The guy is a fantastic coach who is still relatively young and inexperienced(As a DC) who will only continue to learn and get better! 1-0 guys. Now onto Vag Tech.
